This is a shikishi (decorative paperboard) featuring a thistle design and the Zen phrase "Banri no Aki" (Autumn Across Ten Thousand Miles), perfect for display in the autumn season. "Banri no Aki" in Zen refers to "Seifu Banri no Aki" (Clear Wind, Autumn Across Ten Thousand Miles). This phrase describes "the scene of a clear wind blowing and the autumn scenery spreading as far as the eye can see." It is often used to express the feeling of clarity and refreshment experienced by someone who has attained enlightenment after long years of修行 (spiritual training). - Artist: Daido Nishigaki "Banri no Aki" - Painter: Chikurin Thistle - Medium: Shikishi (paperboard) - Design: Floral pattern - Calligraphy: Brush calligraphy - Seal: Red seal present Thank you for viewing.
